“What
does the world offer you?All the allure
and glamour of the world fades into nothingness.Time passes, beauty fades, strength wanes,
riches grow old – and then you die … and then you face the God who created you
for a specific purpose.

He
had a holy design for your life, a mission for you specifically to
fulfill.He stayed at your side all
through your life encouraging you to follow His direction, but you didn’t give
Him a thought in your hurry to acquire earthly satisfactions.He brought holy souls to you to help, guide
and direct you back to God’s path … you listened for a moment and then turned
back to your own path.Each day brought
a new distraction that allowed you to forget your God.

You
started to age.Certain circumstances brought
your mind to think of eternity, such as death and tragedy, but they were quick
thoughts that passed through your mind as a ship in the night.

Then
your day arrived, the fateful day that takes every soul by surprise.You couldn’t rise from your bed, your
diagnosis was terminal, your death was imminent.How different life looks to your eyes
then!How fast your life went by!Who will now take all these treasures you’ve
amassed?Who will sleep in your bed or
drive your car?What will your obituary
say?Who will attend your funeral?What will you say to God when you see Him?You will then say:Does my life’s work have a lasting
value?God is not interested in anything
material, so what do I have to offer Him?

In
that day of sacred orderings, life will appear so drastically different to
you.You will see all the wasted
efforts, wasted moments, wasted relationships, and wasted memories in the light
of eternal goods.

What
will you offer your God on that final day of earth?Meditate on this, because this day truly is
coming and you need to be prepared.”
